Hello, just want to see what you guys think about having either a spell or grammar checker or both on the forums. For me I think it would save me a lot of time checking my spelling and grammar before I post. I already know of one member who would like a grammar checker to make sure his posts are coherent but I want to know who else would think it would be a good idea or not.

I think a spell-checker is a great idea. Not sure about a grammar checker though because most of the word documents that has a grammar checker is confusing to say the least and most of the time these grammar-checkers find faults in sentences if the sentence lacks any apporpriate punctuation. With the aid of a spell checker overall posting quality should improve a little. In some of the section of the forum we can use all the improvement we can have.

P.S. If you find any spelling mistake in my post, it is because this forum lacks a spell checker.

Besides, I can't even begin to fathom the amount of programming something like this would require. The idea is pretty good, but I can't imagine it being feasible. Then again, I'm not GHDPro.

LOL... If such a thing were to ever be used, I'm pretty sure GHDpro would not be writing it... No one in their right mind would write their own spell check utility for a forum. You'd use a Perl or PHP module to do it... There are a lot of commercial programs out there but I'm sure if you looked you could find an open source one too.

Personally I'm happy using the tools I already use to check my posts -- more flexible I my opinion. I wouldn't be against one though.

Uhm...a spell check would be a tool that the person posting could use to make sure their post doesn't have a bunch of mispelled words before posting. Then they could choose to fix errors or ignore them, like for other languages or lingo. A spell/grammer check tool may help some people who don't speak (read: type) English very fluently and those who just like to make sure they haven't made an error.

proper spelling and grammer is overrated. the way people spell certain words and word their sentances is what makes each person unique. it is like an accent in verbal conversation: if we don't have those little things that make us sound different, then we are no different than a bunch of robots (or japanese people) with changing opinions.

This is the best addition to the forum that could be made. Especially now that mods are hunting for people who don't use their English correctly.
It's good for speed typing too. I often find myself having to edit posts for having typos. But the best solve to the case would just be to use word. Copy paste you reply in their and it takes out almost all typo's etc.

thats what i just said. but word really doesnt correct grammar all that good.

I like the spell check idea most of the time I'm in a hurry to post and my finger slips.
I usually notice the error after I post or alittle bit later. Then I have to see those little italicized words on the bottom of my post (last edited by Cammie) Grammer checker? well... thats a good idea but lots of people use lots of slang.

A spell check would be nice. It gets really annoying when MS Word says I spelt "anime" wrong, though. It'd be really hard though, because many anime names will show up as mispelt, then changed to some totally different word.
If we need a grammar check, I think we should ask kj1980 to write it. He's Japanese, but types better english than 90% of the forum.
Now that I mention it, isn't that sad? Most of the Americans can't type "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs," but can understand "|-|3|p m3!" Sort of funny...

Well that's because a lot of people are not enough aware of what they're writting...
It's sad, but it's true...
Still it would be a great idea, since there are people who can't even type a sentense without making like 10 mistakes...
